Notes

  • The recipe above includes the quantities and baking times for muffins made in tulip muffin cases. These pretty cases are a little larger than regular muffin cases. If you’d prefer to use regular muffin cases you will need about  10 cases. Reduce the cooking time to about 15 –20 minutes.
  • For even baking and browning, rotate the tray after 15-18 minutes in the oven
  • The tops of the muffins can be left plain or sprinkled with extra museli, chopped nuts or seeds. Avoid scattering the top of the raw muffins with the dried fruit pieces from the muesli, as these could catch/burn more easily. 
  • Be aware that the panela sugar can make the muffins look fully baked and ready to be removed from the oven before they are.  They should have a very slight give and spring back to them when gently pushed.
Store
 The muffins are best enjoyed slightly warm from the oven but will keep up to 1 day in an airtight container. Refresh for 20 seconds in the microwave to serve slightly warm.
